A herniated or bulging disc can be one of the most debilitating conditions you experience, often causing sharp back pain, deep muscle aches, or radiating numbness into your legs or arms. Many patients come to Bomberg Chiropractic fearing that surgery or long-term medication are their only options. At his independent clinic in Plymouth, Minnesota, Dr. Tom Bomberg offers a highly effective, non-invasive alternative.
By combining non-surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy with gentle chiropractic adjustments, Dr. Bomberg helps retract bulging disc material, relieve nerve compression, and restore the health of your spine naturally.
Your spinal discs act as shock absorbers between vertebrae. When damaged or compressed, the gel-like center can bulge out and pinch sensitive nerves, causing intense pain.
Standard treatments (like pills or injections) often just mask the pain. Spinal Decompression addresses the mechanical problem. Using a specialized, computer-controlled table, Dr. Bomberg applies gentle, precise traction to the spine.
This creates a vacuum effect (negative pressure) within the disc, which can:
Disc injuries don't always present as simple back pain. Because the injured disc often compresses nerves traveling to other parts of the body, symptoms can be diverse and widespread.
Dr. Bomberg utilizes a specific protocol for disc injuries that avoids the "twist and crack" methods that many patients worry about when they are in acute pain. Instead, he focuses on creating space in the spine and reducing inflammation.
This is the cornerstone of our disc treatment. Spinal decompression is a painless, relaxing therapy where you lie on a specialized table that gently stretches the spine. Sessions typically last about 20 minutes, and many patients feel relief after just a few visits.
This spinal therapy option is safe, FDA-cleared, and proven effective for herniated discs, bulging discs, and degenerative disc disease.
Dr. Bomberg may use the Activator Technique (a handheld instrument) or the Thompson Drop table to make precise, low-force corrections to spinal alignment without aggressive twisting. Correcting the alignment ensures the spine moves correctly, preventing future disc aggravation.
To support the structural changes, Dr. Bomberg uses soft-tissue techniques to relax the muscles guarding the injury. This reduces spasms and improves blood flow to the injured area, speeding up recovery time.
Surgery for herniated discs (such as discectomy or fusion) comes with significant risks, long recovery times, and the potential for scar tissue buildup. Chiropractic care for herniated discs offers a way to heal the body from the inside out, preserving your spinal mobility and avoiding invasive procedures.
Most patients see improvement with spinal decompression and chiropractic care within a few weeks, allowing them to return to work, sports, and daily life pain-free.
Dr. Bomberg believes high-quality care should be accessible. Bomberg Chiropractic works with most major health insurance providers, including Medica, UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Medicare.
If your disc injury was caused by a car accident or work injury, Dr. Bomberg can bill your auto insurance or workers' compensation directly, often resulting in 100% coverage for your care.
For those without insurance or with limited coverage for decompression therapy, Bomberg Chiropractic offers transparent, affordable cash plans to ensure you get the care you need without stress.
